Greg Haerr has been working on getting bcc working under elks, and I
think he made some progress a while back once the kernel memory allocation
code was fixed. bash and tcsh and both far too large to build under elks
at the moment. If you need a shell with advanced interactive features,
then one will be required that does not support the full scripting features
of this shell if it is to fit into elks.

I have made some progress on a way of building shared library executables
for elks, but it is not yet clean enough to be ready for use. I hope to
make some more progress in the near future. I am currently working on other
areas of the kernel.
